1.0 came out in 2007. If 3.0+1.0 actually comes out this year then it would be 14 years since the first film released. 14 years also happens to be the length of the time skip between 2.0 and 3.0. Is this merely coincidence or is it all part of Annos master plan?

No.
No.
No. Not everything Anno does is part of some secret conspiracy, so let's stop pretending that it is.
All four movies were supposed to be out by the end of 2008 originally, and while I don’t think that was ever going to happen, I’m sure Anno and the staff at Studio Khara didn’t anticipate the final movie to be released almost a decade after the third.
I like how everyone is just, "No." Lol
No, and depression, natural disasters, poor reviews, and a pandemic certainly didn't help matters.
Not to mention all the Gainax-related problems...
In Japan all 3 movies are extremely well reviewed, Q even won some awards.
Didn't 3.0 get really poor reception?
It's the most succesful Eva movie of all time at the box office and it won the Japan Media Arts Excellence Award, which is pretty much the most prestigious prize for animation. EoE won it too back in '97.
I don't understand, if it won all these awards why does everyone hate it?
EDIT: I know it's different from what the original series was like, that's not what I mean.
No.
No. He was really frustrated and overall tired of making Eva. The process of directing Shin Godzilla is what brought his love for filmmaking back.
